Summary

Elmwood Elementary is a PK–6 school in New Berlin, Wisconsin, serving 567 students as part of the New Berlin School District, which ranks 29th of 432 districts statewide. In 2025–26, the school ranked 62nd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 94th percentile, with 5 stars — a rebound from 2024–25 and part of a long run in the top decile since 2015–16. Nearby, Mill Valley Elementary ranked 37th and Edgerton Elementary 80th, while Robinwood Elementary, Bay Lane Elementary, and Ronald Reagan Elementary were also strong but lower; it is far ahead of Hoover Elementary and Alcott Elementary.

The school’s 2025–26 test results are strong. Fourth-grade social studies proficiency was 92.13 and science 87.64 — the highest among nearby schools and well above district and state averages. Sixth-grade ELA was 84.78 and math 89.13, both above district and state. Third-grade math (69.70 vs. district 74.73) and fifth-grade ELA (71.26 vs. district 74.44) are relative soft spots, though still above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 2.1% in 2024–25, compared with 3.2% district and 17.3% state; only Ronald Reagan Elementary (1.2%) and Hales Corners Elementary (2.0%) were comparable nearby, while Hoover Elementary (11.2%) and Alcott Elementary (39.7%) were much higher.

Resource context: 9.7% of students at the school qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools except Ronald Reagan Elementary at 9.57%. Spending per student was $14,014, and the student–teacher ratio was 16.8 — the highest among the nearby comparison schools — yet outcomes remain top-tier. Subgroup effectiveness is generally strong for low-income students, male students, and English language learners. Special education is the most variable area: 97th percentile in 2023–24, 65th in 2024–25, and 78th in 2025–26. Overall, the school is a high-performing, low-absenteeism school in the top 6% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with 4th grade science/social studies and 6th grade ELA/math as standout strengths and special education plus a few grade-level gaps worth monitoring.
